[AccessD] Access 2007 - oh the pain...

I found this: http://allenbrowne.com/ser-43.html

And - after 13 years of programming access, I did not know about this
feature. 

OMG - What else don't I know?!?

Thanks!
Dan

No that is not what I am taking about.  Not default property, default
*settings*.

It is a format thing.  when you set up a form you can say "when I drag a
control (in this case a
label) out onto the form I want it to look like this..."

In 2003 open a form in design view.
select a label
in the menu, select format / set control defaults

THAT is what I am trying to find in Access 2007.
